Powerwall owners using Teslemetry are a step closer to lower-latency control. The new code pairs Home Assistant’s RSA key with the gateway, then sends supported energy-site commands over the local network before falling back to Tesla’s cloud when the gateway cannot be reached.
This is not an offline mode. Teslemetry’s entities still rely on cloud-polled data and become unavailable during a cloud outage; sites that have not been paired continue to use the existing cloud path.
Brett Adams builds on August work that moved live status, site information and tariff updates from repeated REST polling to Teslemetry’s account stream. That earlier change reduced polling, while today’s work gives supported control commands a direct local route. silamon reviewed and approved the new step.
